Mathias Dabolls Letter Jan 1st
Hon d Elisha Haley Member of Congress Washington, D.C.
Hon d E. Haley H.R.

Dear
Centre Boston December 29 1874
Yrs yours of the 21 st has been received together with a letter from Genl M c Crump relating to Frederick H.  the  claim  for a pension in which he states that Nehemiah Gallup is wrong in so far as it concerns with record evidence that it cannot be relied upon, he says that Nehemiah Gallup has known that George Gallup served since October or the fall of 1877 in Capt Isaac Gallup's Comp y when the rolls show that George Gallup ser- ved only 13 days and Nehemiah Gallup served 5. I have since been to see Nehemiah Gallup and he says he is perfectly sure in rela- tion to his term of service whatever discrepancy there may be in particular dates (owing to the loss of his papers as he has before stated) Nehemiah Gallup says he served himself in the war of rebellion about almost five years, he says he shall as soon forget his Christian Name as he shall forget the manner of his service and that he never was drafted, never served as a substitute and never was called out on any alarm only as an enlisted soldier. That all the service he ever performed was under different enlistments, the shortest term of which was the three months men- tioned in the fall of 1877. That in all his enlistments he served out the full term for which he enlisted, that in relation to the roll of bilitating which was found among Capt. Isaac Gallup's old papers and shown to him before it was sent on to the war department he does not know what it means unless it was an allowance claimed by Capt. Gallup for quartering and furnishing the Comp y between the time of enlistment and their arrival at Providence when he supposes they began to draw rations &c. I was very much surprised on receiving Mrs Crump's letter having received a letter from J. Edwards, Commissioner of Pensions dated Nov r 28 th 1877 in which he stated that without further proof Mrs. born Gallup  H.  the  claim  for a  pension  for  service  from  19 th July 1878 to first of March 1879. at this

information which I immediately made known to the old lady her drooping spirits seemed to revive to think that she was like to obtain a part of that boon which she so much believed the exist- ing laws of her Country intended for her. but when she has to learn that the cup of bliss is suddenly dashed to the ground by another decision and that she is worse off than before having probably in expectation of receiving anticipated a little of the blessing, she will be more miserable than ever. And it does appear to me very strange indeed
that after she has Recd evidence shown that the L d George Gallup was an ensign in the army in 1777 & 1778 under enlistment that they should hesitate to allow him any service at all at the war department, & concur- red with a number of old intelligent men who were in the army at that time they all say they never knew any person enlist for a shorter term than three months. And in the year 1778 there was no call into the service for less than six months there are several old men now in Boston who drew pensions for service performed in 1778 and they are all positive that no person was called into service that year for a shorter term than six months but Mr Brumf says there must be more evidence of the service of George Gallup in 1778 is not This is the nature of things, perhaps will be impossible as Nehemiah Gallup
says that out of the whole company of more than sixty privates he is the last and only one now living that is known of — it may be that they think at the war department that Nehemi- ah Gallup is interested in this case, is the reason they esteem his testimony so lightly but you know this is not the case, I only wish that the venerable old gentleman Nehemiah Gallup could be before the Commission a few minutes and I think they would be satisfied with the honesty of his intentions. But I wish that you could converse with the Commission on this subject, perhaps that he may be induced to give the subject another perusal and to establish at least his former decision giving her a pension for part of the time claimed, for it does appear that a very unfair and unreasonable construc- tion has been put upon the service of George Gallup as for nearly

Nothing remarkable has transpired here since you left only we have had one of greatest democratic Meetings ever held in the County of New London in which the greatest harmony prevailed and all division in the party which has heretofore voted in New London is entirely done away,

Yours of the 19 th November has been received wherein you declare that George Gallup formerly the husband of Freelove Prince was not appointed Ensign in Capt. Wm. Whitneys Compt. until June 1778. and that his service could not therefore have commenced in May as alleged in her declaration; And that the service in Capt. Whitneys Compt. is believed to be the same as that McClellans Reg t &c. — In again conversing with Jeremiah Gallup (in whose testimony every person acquainted with him would put implicit confidence) he says he is fully satisfied that the said George Gallup did perform as much service at least as is claimed in her declaration, And that if there is a discrepancy in relation to officers or dates it is owing to his having lost his old Role and Journal book left by him while in the war of the Revolution as has been before stated in his deposition. But it is now certain that the S d George Gallup was an Ensign in the Revolutionary war under more than one Capt and Col l , as will appear by the old Role herewith sent, which has lately been found among the old papers of Capt. Isaac Gallup late of Grafton dec d .
Will you Sir be so kind as to make known to me as soon as possible your further decision in relation to the claim of the S d Freelove Prince

Personally appeared before the Court of Probate for the District of Voluntown County and State aforesaid Fredove Kinne a resident of S d Town of Voluntown aged 85 Years who being duly sworn doth on her oath make the following declaration in order to amend her former declaration. (Now on file in the pension office at Washington) for a pension, &c. That in her S d former declaration she thinks that she stated that one years service of her former husband the R d George Phillips was performed in Capt s Whitneys Company and Col s McClellans Reg t in the year 1778. And that she then stated according to her best recollection, but that from having her attention now called to some Minutes obtained from the office of the Comptroller of the State of C.C. She is satisfied that in consequence of age infirmity and loss of Memory that she was mistaken in her former declaration and that the Company in which her S d husband served in 1778 as ensign was probably attached to Col s Motts Reg t , but that she is now fully satisfied that her said husband performed the full amount of service claimed in her former declaration.

E. Benjamin — The only person now acting as Clerk in S t . office.

Ledyard
I Nehemiah Gallup of Linton County of New London and State of Connecticut a revolutionary pensioner aged 87 years do on my oath depose and say that in my former deposition in the case of Freelove Kinney for a pension I believe that I therein stated that the S d George Gallup served as Ensign in Capt Wm Whitneys Comp & Col o M c Clellans Regt in the year 1778. which I then supposed to be correct; but from having my attention since called to some minutes obtained from the Comptrollers office of the State of Connecticut, it appears that Capt Whitneys company at the time above mentioned was attached to Col o Motts Regt. I also depose and say that this mistake of mine if it is so stated in my former deposition is owing to age infirmity and my having several years ago lent and lost the journal & roll book which I kept while in service in the war of the revolution, but I now depose and say that altho there may be a discrepancy in my former deposition in relation to the Col o of the Reg t , I am now fully satisfied that the said George Gallup performed the full amount of service stated in my former deposition to which this is an amendment
